With his large health pool and natural talent to cause mayhem in close quarters, Reinhardt is widely regarded as one of thebest brawlers inOverwatch 2. While the franchise’s pool of heroes has greatly expanded since the first game came out in 2016, Reinhardt is still among the most widely picked characters in the series' latest entry, according toanalytics tracker Overbuff. With all of this in mind, it should come as no surprise then that Reinhardt has a lot of fans, many of whom would be happy to receive any kind of paraphernalia based on the hero.
In a post on theOverwatchsubreddit, Multymanfred revealed that their sister gave them a Reinhardt-themed bowl as a birthday present. The gift featured a drawing of Reinhardt cracking the ground with his massive melee weapon, as well as the phrase, “Hammer Down,” which is the lineOverwatch’s popular tank says whenever he uses his ultimate skill, Earthshatter. Many community members complimented the work of Multymanfred’s sister, with one commenter even saying that the design was both amazing and clever.
